SOUTH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SOUTH COTTAGE sales from August 2002 and July 2018 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 2002 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might SOUTH COTTAGE be worth now?

SOUTH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £514,291.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.2%, between July 2018 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Chichester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SOUTH COTTAGE of £442,500 on 19th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £442,500 to £514,291 over the seven years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SOUTH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chichester local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £442,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SOUTH COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2018.
